Welcome to Rise of the Runelords, Paizo's acclaimed Pathfinder 1e Adventure Path adapted for D&D 5e.

Located on the largely untamed frontier of Varisia, the coastal town of Sandpoint has faced few trials and dangers over the course of its forty-two-year history. Unfortunately, that is all about to change.

Your adventure begins in this quaint little town, where a series of seemingly unconnected events will gradually draw your characters into a mystery far darker than anyone could’ve imagined. You see, millennia ago, before Earthfall, a cataclysm that devastated Golarion and brought an end to many ancient civilisations, these lands were part of a mighty empire whose influence and power were unrivalled at the time. Though it fell with the rest of the world, remnants of its former glory still dot Varisia’s landscape. And while the people of Sandpoint may have little reason to concern themselves with the distant past, they will soon find out that it has far greater bearing on their lives than they realise.

As with any epic story, your journey will take you far beyond the walls of Sandpoint. You'll face hundreds of humanoid and monstrous foes, delve into Varisia’s ancient ruins, traverse its gloomy forests, and climb the slopes of its rugged mountains to uncover the source of the darkness threatening the land.

Fight strong, for you may be the only thing keeping Varisia, and perhaps Golarion itself, safe from doom!

Godspeed, adventurers!

Rise of the Runelords is an epic fantasy adventure with darker, grittier undertones and horror elements. It's intended for 4 players, taking characters from level 1 to 15.

I’ve been a huge fan of Paizo’s Adventure Paths for a long time, particularly the older ones. Since 5e has a considerably larger player base than Pathfinder in general, especially compared to the older 1st edition, adapting these adventures felt like a great way to bring them to a wider audience giving people who don’t play Pathfinder a chance to enjoy them too.

To get everyone ready for the adventure, we'll have a free Session Zero. During it, we’ll create characters, get to know each other, and go over any other relevant details so everyone's on the same page before we begin.
